288 - Märklin H0 diesel locomotive 3072 class 212 of the DB with seven express coaches 341-344 MITROPA

Märklin H0 diesel locomotive 3072 class 212 of the DB with seven express coaches 341-344 MITROPA Train set, gauge H0, by Märklin. Red diesel locomotive of class 212 of the German Federal Railway, running number 212 224-0, article number 3072. In addition seven express coaches of the types 341 (twice), 342 (once), 343 (twice) and 344 (twice), partly in green livery, partly as red dining cars of the MITROPA. Played-with condition, good condition appropriate to age. The electrics respond (light on, motor hums), however the drive is seized due to the long period of standing (gummed up). Servicing and cleaning are imperative. The absence of smaller, delicate add-on parts cannot be entirely ruled out. Class 212 (formerly V 100) was a diesel locomotive of the German Federal Railway for medium-duty line service. Märklin listed it under article number 3072. The red dining cars carry the lettering of the MITROPA, the Mitteleuropäische Schlafwagen- und Speisewagen-Aktiengesellschaft, which operated the on-board catering service in central Germany.
